Monica is a self-taught artist who recently left a successful career as an attorney to further explore photography.

In 1995 she moved to Boston, Massachusetts where she studied political science and French at Boston University. She also studied French language and economics in Paris, France. Monica graduated from law school in 2004 and began practicing law soon thereafter. She began searching for a creative outlet at which point she turned to photography. She recently participated in a Collaborative Arts Event in New York City where she sold several pieces and her photo essays have appeared in the online magazine, Orato. Her work is also being showcased in the hallways of several commercial and residential buildings in Queens, New York. Monica is a first generation American of Cuban, Argentinean and Italian descent. Her diverse background has greatly influenced her photographs and her love of travel, foreign languages, art and architecture. She is constantly searching for new styles and original approaches to travel and street photography. Monica lives in New York City with her husband. |
